WHISTLER, British Columbia (AP) — Prince Harry raced head-first on a tiny skeleton sled going 99 kph (61.5 mph) down a track at next year’s Invictus Games site Thursday, saying with a smile afterward that everyone should do it.
The British prince did two runs on one of the world’s fastest bobsled tracks, which also hosts skeleton races.
Experienced sliders start at the top of the track, although the prince started at the halfway mark.
American Ivan Morera, a single-arm amputee who was wounded in a combat zone in Afghanistan, was in Whistler for the training camp.
“A big catastrophic event like that affects you, so adaptive sports is my way of dealing with that.”The 2025 games will have about 500 competitors from 23 nations from Feb. 8-16, 2025.
